New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Sharon Marie Cline has a lot to smile about these days. The momentum of her current CD "This Is Where I Wanna Be" has a pulse of its own. Its already spanned the globe and she couldn't be prouder, for it keeps bringing her to where "she wants to be".
It's important to Cline to stay connected to her fans, not only does she have a door at every portal of social media, she works the technology in her favor. From radio shows, to CD release parties, magazine reviews and interviews, her own social network, to producing a music video complimenting one of the key tunes from her release entitled "Laughter In The Rain." Through these efforts, Sharon seeks opportunities to perform on worldwide jazz festivals and concert stages.
"Originally lighthearted song about lovers in the rain, Cline turns it into a moody and seductive slow dance that leads to some optimistic improvised lyric and vocalizations at the end ~ almost as if the sun is just about to peek out from the clouds. That's a perfect metaphor for Cline's emergence. This is where jazz vocal fans are going to want to be too! ~ Jonathan Widran (Jazz montly.com ~ Standing Ovations
